Alison Landsberg is a Professor at George Mason University, affiliated with the Department of History and Art History and the Cultural Studies PhD program. Her research focuses on the politics of memory, affective engagements with the past, visual culture, and the intersections of race, aesthetics, and history. A leading scholar in memory studies, she explores how mass media and popular culture shape historical consciousness and political subjectivity. Her seminal works include *Prosthetic Memory* (2004) and *Engaging the Past* (2015), which analyze how mediated experiences of history foster empathy and progressive politics. Landsberg’s interdisciplinary work bridges film studies, cultural theory, and historiography. She examines how audiovisual media—from films to immersive digital exhibits—produce alternative historical narratives that challenge traditional academic historiography. Her current project, *Impossible Histories*, critiques conventional ‘historicism’ and explores counterhegemonic modes of historical representation. Her teaching spans courses on historical cinema, visual culture, and the politics of memory. She has advised over 20 doctoral students, many of whom explore topics like public history, digital memory, and cultural activism. Landsberg is a frequent keynote speaker at international conferences and has contributed to NPR’s *On the Media* and *The American Scholar* on topics ranging from racial representation to post-postracial America. Landsberg’s research emphasizes the urgency of rethinking historical engagement in an era of fragmented media and contested identities.

Nils Holzenberger is an Assistant Professor at Télécom Paris, France, since February 2023, affiliated with the Data Intelligence Graphs (DIG) research team within the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory (LTcI). His work bridges artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and legal domains through neuro-symbolic approaches to statutory reasoning, particularly in tax law. Education: PhD in Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University (2017-2022) Master's in Engineering, Mines ParisTech (2013-2017) Preparatory Classes, Lycée Louis-le-Grand (2011-2013) Holzenberger's research centers on legal artificial intelligence with emphasis on statutory reasoning limitations in large language models. He pioneered the SARA dataset for tax law reasoning and LegalBench benchmark, developing hybrid symbolic-neural frameworks that expose LLMs' shortcomings in precise legal interpretation. His work integrates Prolog solvers with NLP techniques to create executable tax code mappings and contract analysis tools, establishing foundational methods for verifiable legal AI systems. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2024) reveals three dominant research thrusts: (1) Tax law reasoning benchmarks exposing LLM hallucinations, (2) Neuro-symbolic integration for statutory interpretation, and (3) Low-resource template extraction for legal documents. His work consistently demonstrates that pure neural approaches fail at precise legal reasoning, necessitating symbolic grounding for reliable legal AI applications. The DIG research team at Télécom Paris, where Holzenberger leads legal AI initiatives, is actively hiring faculty for neuro-symbolic projects. While specific grant details aren't public, his collaborations with HEC Paris, Copilex startup, and featured podcast appearances indicate substantial industry-academia engagement in legal tech development. Holzenberger directs the legal AI vertical within LTcI's DIG team, focusing on data intelligence for statutory reasoning. His group develops tools for tax minimization strategy discovery, contract analysis, and legal information extraction, maintaining close ties with legal practitioners through projects like the Prolog-based tax code interpreter. The team's infrastructure supports both academic research and startup partnerships in computational law.
